Investigators believe the bullet came from the west, within a mile. The Chester Police Department received a call about shots fired at the nearby Crosby Square Apartments around the same time the hospital patient was struck. Chester residents claim there was a shootout between people in two different vehicles. Lisa Johnson says she heard what sounded like a dozen gunshots.

"I was inside my home," she said. "I told my children to get down to brace themselves. This is a bad neighborhood. Gunshots are normal."
